Thanks, Scott This is the best Viggen book that I have in my collection: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Saab-37-Viggen-ultimate-portfolio/dp/8799368846 However, I suspect it's now out of print. There's also a Squadron 'Walkaround' on it that's OK too. Edited March 9, 2021 by hopkinspeter Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Scott Squadron/Signal walk around and HMH book. Both are good, and complement each other. Oddly enough, despite my repeated calls over the years for a big Viggen, I can't even begin to afford this one, so will have to content myself to watch others enjoy it.

It’s bringing me out in cold sweats, but the final reveals look amazing. I think my strike eagle paint mule will be getting a new colour scheme in the very near future. Rigorous testing will be done before I commit to paint on the Viggen.

MRP also have the specific Swedish paints you need to do the splinter camo. - I have personally not always been too impressed by their "Green" colors but I will test them out.

Agreed, and as easy as it sounded at first, making my own, in correct scale with accurate shapes proved a bit problematic. This was a good purchase for sure. mattcour and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not too long ago, also bought the hardbound version of the Squadron Viggen book, so have the softcover version going spare. I'll probably be selling it off soon, along with a few other dupes.

Would love to see Danny Corman put together an "Uncovering the SAAB 37 Viggen" book ! The 'Ultimate Portfolio' book was part of an excellent series published by Jan Jorgensen. There were initially four books, one on each of the Scandinavian air forces, then he went on to do several volumes on individual Saab jets. It looks like they're all gone now though, he used to sell them through his own website (from where I got most of mine) but I can no longer find it. It's a pity - mine would definitely be on the list of 'things to grab on the way out if the house went on fire'! I agree that a Daco book on the Viggen would be great, though the HMH book (which I'd forgotten about) is actually along the same lines and is pretty good.
